About this recipe

These cupcakes get their perfect texture from chopped chocolate folded into the batter, all topped off with a light, whipped frosting. The base of the batter is finely blended cooked or roasted pumpkin. I used butternut squash, but hokkaido or any other favourite pumpkin variety works beautifully too.
